RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. (KABC) — A San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy was hospitalized after being shot in Rancho Cucamonga Monday afternoon.
After the suspect fired at sheriff’s deputies, he hopped on a motorcycle, sparking a dramatic, high-speed chase that ended in a major crash on the 210 Freeway near Upland, a San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson confirmed.
The shooting was reported at about 12:37 p.m. in a residential area in the 12300 block of Hollyhock Drive in Rancho Cucamonga, just north of Victoria Gardens. Deputies reportedly responded to the area for a call about an armed man threatening a woman.
The deputies were fired upon as soon as they arrived at the scene, the sheriff’s department said.
The deputy who was shot was rushed to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton in unknown condition.
Video from the hospital shows law enforcement officers gathered outside the emergency room. An Eyewitness News crew at the scene also spotted what appeared to be family members arriving at the hospital.
A law enforcement source told Eyewitness News Reporter Rob McMillan this is “a bad day for law enforcement.”
San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus was among the officials gathered at the scene.
The suspect was taken into custody and transported to the hospital after the crash on the 210 Freeway.
